i tried not to dig too deeply into the secondary and tertiary characters, but that one just worked too well. my only concern is my future inability to use "Frolfsbane" in any future chud-as-superhero threads.

Spider-Man's never going to be *heavy* emotionally or artistically. They probably pushed those angles as far as they could go for this one; I'm glad they did. In Batman they have as much license as they need to take the film beyond 'light entertainment'.

actually the story from spiderman is modeled more after they Venom story in Ultimate Spiderman than it is Batman Begins.

while this story isnt his origin, the use of a doctor and fellow coworker to richard parker on a project they both worked on together is very similar

in the comic petes dad and eddie brocks dad were working on a suit for military purposes but then found that it could be used as a all encompassing healing technology. once the suit is put on, it would mimic the users DNA, create new cells to replace damaged ones, and the user would be healthy again.

this suit was keyed to parkers dna and pete wore it. since parkers dna was changed by the spider bite the suit would mimic that to the nth degree and gave birth to venom.

in the movie, petes dad worked with kurt connors on a way to heal people, using dna from animals. while not truly a criminal in any story, the lizard is instead a creation of a miscalculation on connors idea.

i dont know if there are any villans that they could have used that wouldnt be considered fringe villians for spiderman. aside from the Goblins (green, hob and other) spiderman is much more like the flash in terms of villans. has plenty but none so super powerful.

i wish one of these spidermans coming up use the original screenplay that was proposed years ago....with electro as the main bad guy along with kingpin and vulture. perhaps setting the ground work for the sinister 6

actually the story from spiderman is modeled more after they Venom story in Ultimate Spiderman than it is Batman Begins.

I'm not talking about the story, I'm talking about rebooting a film franchise and how Sony is taking their cues from Warner in terms of tone, structure and character dynamics. The stories themselves are very different, for sure.
